I had a wonderful four nights. It was nice to live in an old 3-bedroom house in a quiet neighborhood along a narrow path. I loved waking up in a room bathed in light from the shoji door and windows. Early in the morning I would go out for a walk before sitting down to a nice Japanese breakfast with the owner, cook and other guests. Sharing the bathrooms with other guests was like living with your siblings. I felt like I was part of a family in a very interesting and relatively small town. The owner was very helpful in answering questions and recommending places to visit.
If you want a hotel experience, this is not for you. There is no front desk, extra amenities, private bathroom, tv, or refrigerator. This is an old house with three guest rooms. But the rooms have a/c and the two bathrooms have flush washlets. You have to remove your shoes at the front door. Then you step up to the small common area with a low table and zabutons. Under the table is recessed so you can sit comfortably with your legs dangling. The narrow, steep stairway leads to two guest rooms and a bathroom with toilet. My room was very comfortable with a couch and low desk. The futon was thin so I laid two of them on the tatami mat.
This was a great experience to live in an old Japanese house.

The rooms, sheets, and towels were clean. The staff and host were AMAZING AND LIVELY! The kitchen was clean and they even made breakfast and dinner for me! I stayed during a cooler season so just having the window open was perfect. I really appreciate the kindness and hospitality of the host, Bushi. To me it was an amazing experience I will NEVER forget. Thank you so much!

the place was clean the breakfast was ample the host was friendly
there are three rooms - 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs - and if you are of a certain age and need an afternoon nap you should not be downstairs. On both days there were people in the living room and even the little noise they made was disturbing because of paper-thin walls. So if you need naps and privacy ask for upstairs.

The owner (bushi) of the guesthouse was such an amazing and kind person. He gave a tour around Kamakura and made delicious breakfast for me and my husband. I was a bit nervous since it was my first time staying at a guest house but it became a precious memory.

Bushi-san was the best host. He makes the whole experience and even speaks very good English. We experienced a tsunami warning and had to cancel our flight back home. Bushi allowed us to stay another night. He was very good with the kids. He made lots of jokes, let kids try out the samurai weapons and armor, and even made shaved ice with our kids. Bushi-san makes this B&B a lively and exciting experience. The property itself is outdated with lots of random knick knacks. The futons were a little too flat and uncomfortable —feels like camping. There is a shared bathroom with all the guests. However, the people we encountered were all lovely and we clicked with them. My children had fun interacting with another family with children. I wouldn’t trade my experience with a hotel experience, which tend to be cold and impersonal. I highly recommend Bushi-san’s property for a one-of-a-kind Japan experience.

Guesthouse Irodori was very interesting, and I'm happy me and my 88 year old, Japanese-born mother stayed here. At first thought, one would think it very strange that an Japanese/American Grandma and her 64 y.o. American daughter would stay at a "Minshuku" type of house. But, we had made last minute plans to travel to Tokyo for 1 month to visit a family member having surgery. We stayed two nights in Kamakura to look at real estate and visit a friend in the area. This was great for us and allowed us to do what we needed with a local place to sleep at night.
Our Samurai host, Bushi-san, and his small staff are kind and wonderfully warm people.
We loved meeting the much-younger travelers from the US and China and Spain and enjoyed sharing dinner with them for those two nights. Out of our month-long trip to Japan, we accomplished our mission during our 2 days in Kamakura and then moved on to stay with relatives around Tokyo and Odawara.
My only small/minor issue was the lighting in our room was not very bright, and our room was right next to the dining area where guests gathered to talk and enjoy themselves for a small party on our first night. That said, we were so tired that the noise ultimately didn't matter.
I recommend Guesthouse Irodori for anyone who is open to meeting other travelers from different parts of the world. The location is within walking distance of the train station, and one can also walk about 15-20 minutes through the residential area to see the beach.
